Bonus points if it is a Lonely Prince in his Stupendously Emo Tower of Ice and Incredible Emo-type icon.

Watched Brave Story translated in English with Niisan and Kaasan today.♥ I HAD A GOOD TIME AND I AM GOING TO MISS YOU VERY MUCH KAASAN :(((( But Chibi Kadaj will console himself by sending Kaasan numerous unwanted letters and postcards and OTHER strange things. Like Arashi Pocky, should the JE store ever stock it. It has gained a NEW FREQUENT VISITOR.

Brave Story figurines! I want my small pink cute baby dragon! But, a live one, not this. Still, inanimate version quite cute.

Niisan! ♥ Thank you so much for the lovely Chinese hieroglyphic booklet! I SHALL PERUSE IT WITH GREAT DEDICATION AND WRITE YOU LETTERS WITH IT. :D Or fanfiction! :D ♥

BRAVE STORY SPOILERS

I found the story much funnier the second time around, and not always in a good way.

MITSURU

IS VERY FUN TO WATCH and the kind of person I want to bitchslap into sense and then hug because he has had a most unfortunate and emo life. There is this scene where to get what he wants, he has to Experience the Experience that Brings Him The Most Personal Pain, and upon THAT happening, being a mage, he WALLS HIMSELF UP IN A TOWER OF ICE TO EMO ALONE and DESTROY THE WORLD, while Wataru, the hero of the story, BANGS IN VAIN UPON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS ICE TOWER OF EMO yelling, "MITSURU!!! LET ME IN!!!"

Also, the ending of Brave Story is just like FFAC, because it involves:

(only Kadaj at least didn't DRAG OUT HIS DEATH SCENE the way Mitsuru did. I swear, by the end of it I was SHUT UP AND JUST DIE ALREADY. Unnecessarily long anime death scenes frustrate me, I'm always oh, he's dead! No wait, he's not dead. he's dead! No, he's still talking! He's dead! No, his eyes are still open! He's talking again! NOOOOOOOOO)

2. Main antagonist's body dissolving into SPARKLY GLITTER and rising up into the heavens and disappearing

3. to reunite with a beloved female family member (Kadaj gets to be with Kaasan again, and Mitsuru got his sister back)

4. While the protagonist gazes up into the skies at the glittering wake

Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie! Even when the translation was clearly quite rubbish and at times did not reflect what was being said at all.

the rest of this entry is intentionally mitsuru-coloured: BUSY DAY TODAY OHMYHEAVENS. Some great moments: had lunch with elvaron and law school classmates! ♥ went to buy dessert! watched movie with kaasan and niisan! ♥ had fun law-related dinner!

Have also come to the conclusion that lawyers have a strange profession-linked sense of humour such that, I am quite sure, if certain jokes were told at a mixed-profession table:

Lawyers: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Everyone else: ... ?

rather mixed day all in all, with several things happening that I could have been quite happy without, like ARGH CLASS and emo thought of the day: Sometimes, when I try to say what I really feel, it comes out so nasty that I just don't say anything. Sometimes the relief you get from speaking your mind is completely outweighed by the amount of cleaning-up and apologising you have to do afterwards.

BUT IT IS OKAY OR WILL BE. Lawyer at dinner table tonight recounted story of how a client she'd heard of had gotten arrested for stealing garbage, because he'd broken into the garbage storage room to do it. It was not so much WHAT he'd stolen, but HOW he'd taken it.

THAT'S PERFECT! It was actually the EMO PRINCE one I was thinking about, but you know what it's like with icons: when you think about wanting it you can't remember where it came from! XD Thank you so much!

Sometimes, when I try to say what I really feel, it comes out so nasty that I just don't say anything. Sometimes the relief you get from speaking your mind is completely outweighed by the amount of cleaning-up and apologising you have to do afterwards.

FEAR ON PLS. But argh, it's not worth it, it's not going to solve anything. Crush one moment of anger/indignation is always better than the three-hours plus of recrimination, clearing things up, explaining yourself, finding new points of disagreement, ARGH.

*laughs so hard as I imagine Jade and Soubi holding an emo contest* Even I can't decide who would win. The one you've got right now is quite nice! ♥

My favourite emo Soubi icon of yours is Misery Loved Me, content-emo wise I think megaton megane's Jade is unbeatable because I know this doujin's story (many thanks! ♥), and I actually thought this icon was emo.

I realise I have depressingly few emo icons. I have SO MANY HAPPY ones, several angry ones, and... maybe... two? sad ones? MISERABLE.

XD! I font-sized it to cyan, but then I'd quite forgotten that my LJ is cyan itself. It is readable now! ;) Usually what I do with difficult-to-read entries is CTRL+A. xDDDD

I didn't understand the ending of Brave Story ^^; I think anime movies are not very coherent in general, and this one felt like a series of set pieces rather than a full story, like they skipped several scenes or something.

XDDDDDDDDDDD I don't know if I got the right ending to Brave Story, but I think Wataru somehow got it all: he saved the world of Vision, and then the Goddess of Fate returned him to his world, where everything wasn't fixed to where it was before, but became okay of its own accord, and he learned to live with his new life. But somehow MITSURU'S LIFE GOT FIXED, HOW. D:

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love the drawing, it's so cute! You've captured what I love about young!Luke and Guy's relationship perfectly! ♥ I probably have a sappier take on it than most, but my perception of the picture is, I'll be right here to catch you if you fall, and that it was Guy who taught Luke how to take his first steps. ♥ I love the look (AGH I ALMOST SPELLED IT LUKE) on Guy's face, so gentle! ♥ And baby!Luke going PANIC PANIC PANIC, and I am probably going all metaphorical into it, but I see the Luke falling down-picking himself up as a foreshadowing of Aczelius and also what I love so much about him, being that even when he falls, he picks himself up. Asch would have: *fallen* *EMO* *EMO* *picks self up* *MORE EMO*

That my language also shatters into a million pieces under the FORCE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU. ♥ I LOVE YOU A THOUSAND TIMES FOR SHIPPING THAT OT3, I WOULD LIKE TO SEND YOU DOUJIN NOW. ♥ Except I have just realised I think I need another update on your address unless you are still living at the one you were living at in March?

YOUR ICON. It is TOO PRETTY TO BE EMO. BUT SO PRETTY. *HITS ON IT* *A LOT*

I remember which Cloud icon it was! THAT REALLY WAS EMO. ♥ I pick this one as the most emo one you have now. ♥

!!! I love the show! The cat in it is actually named Miina, though when I first saw it minus subs I thought her name was "Mina". ♥ I'm not partial to pink, either, but oh, that dragon! So small, so cute, and so useful! The flamethrowing ability comes in very useful to the hero! ;)
